Fill

how long does it take to know if ur fill is working

I'm not sure how to exactly answer your question. But I will tell you my "Fill Story". . . I had 1 1/2 ccs put in my band during surgery to 'prime' the band; my first fill was 3 ccs; my second fill was 2 ccs; my last fill in September was 1/2 cc; I have an AP Large Lap Band that will hold 14 cc's and I am still not in "Green Zone" or restriction. My surgeon will only add 1/2 cc from this point forward. I am hoping that my next fill on October 17th will put me at the ever allusive restriction

I had 4 cc at surgery and 1 cc a mouth later I feel nothing and cant eat anything I am not happy about this because I am lossing my will power to do this. I go in this week for anothe cc and just pray that I feel something. i dont want to give up but it is feeling like all the other diets. I have lost 12 lbs 7 the first week nothing the last 2 I am so sad.

good luck all

Some people feel the difference with a fill immediately, for others it can take a couple of weeks. And it's not the same for every fill. Which simply means there is no standard answer to your question. Sorry about that!

I have had some people say they fill restriction from day 1 of a fill, but for me it takes 3-4 days before I start feeling like I had a fill. Maybe I'm just slow

However, I use to think oh I am so hungery between meals then I would give in and eat a small snack. Now when I first start feeling hungry and it's not time for my snack or my next meal (I eat 3 meals and 2 Snacks with a daily calorie count of around 1200), I will start downing my crystal light peach mango green tea that really helps me make it through. With each fill it all gets easy for me.
